Good point.  I've changed it so that bound is only set for non-kernel
sockets.

netlink: Fix autobind race condition that leads to zero port ID

The commit c0bb07df7d981e4091432754e30c9c720e2c0c78 ("netlink:
Reset portid after netlink_insert failure") introduced a race
condition where if two threads tried to autobind the same socket
one of them may end up with a zero port ID.

This patch reverts that commit and instead fixes it by introducing
a separte "bound" variable to indicate whether a user-space socket
has been bound.
